64 Bit Driver With 32 Bit Application

Post by eqi »

We have an application that necessarily is 32 bit as we need to support older and newer machines. The Driver is installed as 32 bit on an x86 machine and as 64 bit on an x64 machine. All works well on a 32 bit machine. It works well on a 64 bit machine if I compile and target "Any CPU' as in your test application, unfortunately due to some 3rd party 32 bit dll's I cannot target any CPU in my application and the 32 bit application throws errors when trying to access the 64 bit printer.

Can I install a 32 bit printer on a 64 bit machine? (I have tried unsuccessfully)

Can I access the 64 bit drivers with a 32 bit application? (I have tried unsuccessfully)

No, that's impossible with printer drivers.

There should not be any problems. Can you provide us sample app that demonstrates the problem you have?
